Say it isn’t so! Months of planning and reading and having pure fun with this series and we’re on the last day of the tour already?

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2014

• Joy at Joyousreads was reading “at a frenetic pace and had to constantly fight off the urge to skim to get to the juice of the story. I was an addict who couldn’t stop reading.”
• Crystal at Crystal in Bookland is “OBSESSED. It’s FANTASTIC. NOW GO BUY IT!!! Since I am absolutely OBSESSED with this series.”
• Andrea at Cozy Up With A Good Read praises the characters, calling them “amazing … each of them is tough, especially some of the newer characters, and yet they have a vulnerability to them as well, making them very well-rounded.”
• Kristen at My Friends Are Fiction “loved this second installment even more than the first and if you’ve not started this series I consider it a must for paranormal fans.”

Don’t forget, we are also running a giveaway during the blog tour! There are three prize packs that include a signed copy of Shadows in hardcover and a copy of Haze in hardcover.

For fun, I made a few colleagues take the Rephaim character quiz because I thought you’d be intrigued by what kind of publishing house Tundra is!

Publisher Alison is most like Jason!
Managing editor Liz is like Maggie!
Editor Samantha is most like Daisy!
Your blog tour hostess, Sylvia, is like Ez!
Administrative assistant Peter is most like Jones!
Our intern Sarah is like Daisy!
Publicity manager Pamela is most like Jude!
Production Val is like Mya!
The lovely ladies online, Jess is like Daisy, Lindsey is Jude, and Aliya is Maggie!

What do you think? Don’t we have a great team?

• Bethzaida at Bookittyblog writes, “There were lots of things that I loved about Haze. One of them being the characters. Rafa and Gaby were my favorites…. One of the things that I really enjoyed was that Rafa didn’t try to take on the role of Gaby’s protector. He knew she was able to kick demon ass and even pushed her a bit to show her that she could be the badass Gabe she doesn’t remember.”
• Krystal at Krystal’s Stellar Book Blog swears that “I read while holding my breath! The fast-paced, intense, action packed scene with that cliffhanger at the end? Really?! It was just too much! … If you haven’t read this series, you might want to! Even if you don’t love angels and hellbeasts and hellions, you’ll find something in Paula Weston’s Rephaim’s series that you will love!”
• After the flailing, Jaime and her sister Erin at FictionFare took some time to interview Paula Weston. Find out “What is the weirdest thing you googled while researching for this series?” “What has been your favorite scene to write and why?” and “Were there any scenes that had to be cut that you wish would have stayed in?” to name a few.
• Bec Stafford at Marianne de Pierres’s Escape Club interviews Paula and they talk about the appeal of Rafa!
• Christina at The Paperback Princesses says, “There is some serious pulse-pounding, heart-thumping action! Things start to get very involved as we see the relationship between Rafa and Gaby develop.”

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2014

• Visit Summer at MissFictional’s World of YA Books for some musical inspiration!
• Love it! Great wrap-up as Jillian at Centre of the Universe says Shadows and Haze, “are charged with sexual tension, psychological tension, physical conflict, and liberal doses of sarcasm and sparkling humour.”
• Jen at Perogies & Gyoza tells us that “Gaby is such a great central character. Her disconnect between her current self and what people tell her about her past self, and especially her past morals, makes her vulnerable despite her physical strength….”
• Did you hear that? Crystal at WinterHaven Books says that “Haze was definitely one of my most anticipated sequels of 2014.”
• Lisa at Turning Pages adds that “The story was completely action packed, and no moment was ever dull or boring. While we did get a few small tastes of romance here and there, Haze mainly focused on the task at hand.”
